One topic I care about ASAP, is the goolf vs goolfc debate described over here: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/488 I'd like to hear developers' feedback as regards current standpoint, in order to take course with the relevant open PRs. Also, I have a pile of topics, which I rather maintain as personal itches, yet others may care about; the first 3 are fairly generic subjects: * toolchain-less builds; important for debuggers, performance tools and all non-ABI exposing software * module statistics! # how to record module usage; what do you do? * Define a few more example ModuleNamingSchemes, such as: "lowercase", "SARA", "TAMU", "FZK" etc * #260: Avoid long paths in `eb --search` and `eb --dry-run`, trim what is visible in $CFGS * parallel builder to understand "blocker" items (avoid delivering icc + impi + imkl in parallel) * Inform upstream developers of patch effort, add REF. with tracking URL within patch files * per site customization effort (see EB-F#712, #544), .ebp files or, EB_EC_* vars * automate eb --try-toolchain=X -r * EasyDoc/VP; https://hpc.uni.lu/users/software/ Why? check links http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc/EN/Expertise/Support/Software/Libraries/PETSc.html * EasyRegTest/XB. oh-mpi-god. Why? http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=HPC-OpenMPI * FFTW2 vs FFTW3 vs imkl; API divergence in ictce & g???? toolchains * diverse build regtest environment, ensure multiple OSes/archs/distros tested I'd prefer others choose if/which ones they think would matter for all of us; none of them is critical yet, from my point of view. Feel free to postpone the topics for a next beer round, just invite me for the beers :) cheers, Fotis -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # Yelling in a CERN forum
